Faith that is contrary to facts is only blind faith, God doesn’t call us to blind faith.
There is ZERO evidence for the Book of Mormon and literally TONS for the Bible.
Faith contrary to facts is faith and the more blind the better. You’re letting your humanness get the better of you.
Think of Daniel in the lion’s den or Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego. The facts in both cases were that lions and fire consume, yet they acted on blind faith. I wish I had faith like theirs. Or like Noah’s who built an Ark on faith (could you imagine 120 years of waiting/building?) or the verse from the NT: “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2Cor5:7 or “Ask in faith for wisdom, nothing doubting.” James 1:5-7. Clearly James is saying stay faithful despite the “facts” around you.
I like to be willing to just have enough faith to take the next step for the Lord. The only people I hear always talking about facts over faith, other than you anti-Mormons, are atheists. It’s why I found your sources so ironic. I mean they’re both committed atheists.
